Yea, revenue certainly wouldn’t be the same. As in, there would be no revenue.
Ad revenue. They’d still get sales through their store, as well as sponsor revenue.
No one is going to sponsor a creator who has no way to garner an audience.
People with enough of a viewership would still be offered sponsorship for videos. Like YouTubers who do their own ads in videos.

When I worked with an influencer who made free workout vids, his ad revenue was 80% of income. It was an extreme minority from free videos to buying something in his store.
Then some algorithm change in 2018 broke his entire income, he couldn’t afford me, and last I checked, he was sponsored by diet pills or whatever fake garbage.
It’s a damn shame because his dream was always to provide free workout vids.
